[Seven Five] Sword Que Merry

As soon as Qingming passed, there were fewer people on the street. Because girls and children were lost one after another in the vicinity, the people in the city were all panicked, not only women and children, but even ordinary men refused to go out easily.

The three of Zhan Zhao were walking on the road, and the cold wind was blowing head-on, making them feel extraordinarily peaceful.

"I didn't expect such a terrifying ghost to exist in the world." Holding the sword in his hand, Bai Yutang turned his head to look at the closed shop doors all around, and couldn't help sighing, "If it was the baby that you said, it would have already eaten it." how many people."

"I'm just guessing." Nian Yi wore a crimson cloak today, with a wide hood covering his head, "Although it may not be true, but leaving it in the world is a disaster after all, it's better to get rid of it."

"Yeah." He nodded casually, "That's true."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of spring wind swept past in vain, blowing away the hood that Nian Yi was wearing on his head, and his black hair, which was neither long nor short, rose against the wind.Bai Yutang saw it clearly, pointed at her in astonishment and said, "You...how about your hair..."

Nian Yi was still frantically looking for a hat, but Zhan Zhao calmly raised his hand and put the hood on her head, saying calmly:

"Let's go."

"Don't worry, she hasn't answered me yet." Bai Yutang walked around him, "It's fine, why did you... make your hair like this?"

Nian Yi lowered his head in embarrassment, covering his face with a hat, "I don't want to either...don't ask."

It's not an auspicious day to cut her hair, let alone cut it to her length, she can't even pull up a bun, and it's not like...

Taking advantage of Nian Yi walking ahead, Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao in a low voice, "Who cut her hair?"

The latter sighed lightly, and said truthfully, "It's me."

"What?" Hearing this, he was quite surprised, "You... what did you do?"

"Things happen for a reason." Zhan Zhao didn't want to explain too much to him, "I will explain to you later, it's important to catch ghosts first."

Seeing that he didn't want to mention it again, Bai Yutang had no choice but to say, "Okay."

Walking along the street, you will arrive at the intersection of Sancha Road in a short time. There is a pharmacy on the west and a market on the east.

Nian Yi stopped to ponder for a while, then said to Bai Yutang, "I'll go to the medicine hall to buy wormwood, and I'll leave the dog blood and peach wood to you."

"How much?"

"About... a bowl of weight."

"Okay." He raised his sword, turned around and left, "I'll come and find you later."

"Ah."

West Street is full of shops, and very few are open for business.Zhan Zhao and Nian Yi were heading towards the medical center, there were not many people on the road, but after walking for a while, they suddenly saw a large group of people crowding in front of them, their steps were very clever, they didn't know whether they were going to watch the excitement or something happened.

They stood aside to make way for the crowd, looked up for a while, Zhan Zhao stopped one of them casually and asked:

"Old man, do you know why these people came here?"

The old man is a fish seller, and the fish basket is still in his hand.

"Ah, didn't you say that the city is haunted?"

Nian Yi frowned and immediately asked, "Who said that?"

"I don't know who said it." He tightened the straps on his shoulders, "But everyone said so, the people in the yamen opened the north city gate yesterday, and invited the people from the Foguang Temple this morning. The eminent monk came down from the mountain, saying that he wanted to perform religious rituals for the city to drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters."

Hearing him mention the word eminent monk, his expression suddenly froze as he read it, "Which eminent monk is it?"

"This..." The old fish seller scratched his head and thought for a long time before he said unsurely, "It seems to be called Master Xuanming? Hey, I don't remember exactly." He walked sideways with the fish basket in his hand, "Go and see Just look at it."

Seeing that Nianyi was in an abnormal mood, Zhan Zhao didn't want her to ask any more questions, so he hurriedly changed the subject, "Where is it in the city?"

"Go north, it's just under the biggest tower."

"Okay, thank you."

Zhan Zhao just turned around when the crowd had gone far away, but Nian Yi was still standing where he was, his eyes glazed over.

It can be guessed that she is probably thinking about that person at the moment.Zhan Zhao was silent for a while, then asked softly, "Are you planning to go?"

"...No." Nian Yi withdrew his gaze, and said in a calm tone, "Sooner or later, I will find him. If it is really him, it will be troublesome if there are too many people. It is better not to go."

I was afraid that she would turn around and go to the tower in spite of everything. At that time, the city would be full of people, and if it really got too big, it would definitely not end. Fortunately, she can think about it.

Zhan Zhao felt relieved, heaved a sigh of relief, but felt pain for her for no reason at the same time.

Carrying the past for so long, I don't know how she got here all these years.

At this moment, Zhan Zhao suddenly felt that if Shi Yin had taken away all her memories, the result would have been better.

"Master, master, hurry up, master uncle and the others must have arrived."

A voice came from the front, it sounded like a young man.

Zhan Zhao and Nianyi followed the sound at the same time, and saw two monks, one old and one young, coming not far away. Seeing that the older monk was wearing a cassock, holding a golden bowl, and wearing a five-Buddha crown, trotting towards this side Come.

"Oops, it's an old monk!"

Nian Yi's heart tightened, the older the monk, the higher his qualifications, there is no guarantee that he will see something.

"No, I have to hide." She looked around, trying to find a place to hide for a while, but the shops on both sides were closed, and there were no pedestrians on the street at this moment, so it was difficult to get through.

"What should I do?" She stomped her feet anxiously, and hurriedly asked Zhan Zhao, "Can you use lightness kung fu to take me to the roof first?"

He frowned and looked up, "It's easier to be suspicious when you go to the roof in broad daylight."

"That……"

Seeing that the two of them were approaching, Zhan Zhao frowned and looked around, then quickly blocked her, stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms...

"Go slowly, walk slowly, Master is getting old..."

After running for a few steps, the old monk started panting and coughing. Seeing that his face was so ugly, the young monk quickly took out the water bag and helped him to drink a few sips.

"Master, are you okay?"

"Hey, it's much better." The old monk wiped his mouth and was about to take a step when suddenly he felt something was wrong, he frowned and thought, "Hey, there seems to be..."

The little monk heard it strange, blinked his eyes and looked around, and when he turned his head, he saw two people over there. He was still young, and he had never seen such a situation before, and his face was flushed with embarrassment.

But the old monk still wanted to walk aside: "This..."

"Master, we can't go there." The little monk quickly grabbed him, put his hands together, and murmured, "It's a sin, Amitabha, don't look at evil and don't look at evil. It's important for us to meet up with a few masters first."

The old monk had poor eyesight, so he couldn't see clearly after looking at it for a long time, so he flicked his sleeves and let him support him to rush to the tower.

Ears were quiet and quiet, Nian Yi carefully raised his head from between the crooks of Zhan Zhao's arms, and carefully looked around with a pair of eyes.Seeing that the monk really left, the two breathed a sigh of relief, then raised their eyes to look at each other for a long time, and then they couldn't help laughing out loud.

"I'm most afraid of monks and Taoist priests." Nian smiled and said, "Monk is okay, most monks like to save lives, but it will be miserable when they meet Taoist priests. They like to stick talismans at every turn, either sealing them or breaking up three souls and seven souls, whoever suffers?" Got it?"

"No wonder." Zhan Zhao also pursed his lips and smiled, "That day at Pinghu Villa, when you heard that there were Taoist priests, you couldn't even hold the tea bowl securely."

"It's not my fault, Shiyin was busy with other things in those days, and there was no one around me to help." Looking back now, Shang still has lingering fears, and Nianyi sincerely thanked him, "Thanks to having you at that time, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with it." .”

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao shook his head lightly, just smiled, "Let's go, the hour is delayed, and the medical clinic is closed, so it's not easy to buy wormwood."

She nodded with a light smile and agreed, "Yeah."

After buying everything, it was still early in the morning, the three of them had been busy all morning and returned to the inn already empty, so they ordered food first, and planned to finish eating before making plans.

There are a lot of diners on the first floor of the inn, people come in and out, and the room is full of food fragrance.Nian Yi picked up the teapot and shook it a few times, and was pouring tea for the two of them, when there was a sudden commotion in the street outside the door, which had been sparsely populated since this morning.At this time, a man jumped into the door and said happily:

"Everyone can rest assured, Mr. Bao is back!"

"Master Bao is back?!"

Just a short sentence, like a stone hitting the water, startled a thousand layers of waves, the inn immediately boiled, and the three "Master Bao" kept lingering in their ears.

Bai Yutang raised one eyebrow slightly, and took a sip of tea with a half-smile, "This legendary 'Lord Bao' has finally appeared, I would like to meet him for a while."

"Wait." Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to hold him down, "Don't worry, just take a look and talk."

The man took a drink from the teapot to moisten his throat, and then said, "I heard from a friend who works in my yamen that Mr. Bao will first solve the case of Zhang's grandma and her granddaughter when he comes back today."

Nian Yi whispered in surprise: "So fast?"

Someone on the side also asked: "Broken? Who killed her?"

"This... I don't know too well." The man hesitated for a while, and then said vividly, "But I saw a few arrests rushed to the Commander's house and brought out a scholar. I'm afraid it was him."

"Could it be Xiao Qi?"

"Who knows what it is Xiao... he's dressed as a scholar anyway." The man scratched his head, "But my lord said that there are still doubts in this case, and I need to investigate again, and I will probably be promoted tomorrow."

"Sure enough, he's still a stupid official." Nian Yi lowered his eyes, playing with the empty cup in his hand, and murmured, "I'm sure he wasn't killed by that man surnamed Xiao, who arrested him so quickly and imprisoned him, and how can he say that he can solve the case like a god?" .”

"Are you so sure that he didn't kill him?" Bai Yutang put down his glass.

She didn't watch him carry the pot of tea, "sure."

Since Liu'er became a ghost and still protected him like this, she must not be forced by him, and there was a ghost baby that suddenly appeared in the city. When she entered the city that day, she clearly saw a little girl sitting on the coffin.

Could it be, what is the relationship between them?
